Believe You CAN – Tip #1

Believe You CAN – Tip #1

I read a great article by my mentor and friend Ray Higdon on the “11 Tips on How to Make One Million Dollars.” His first tip was to believe you can. What I'm going to do is for the next 11 days put my thoughts down on each of these tips from what I've learned in life and from some great Millionaires.

Believe You Can, this is so very important in everything we do. Our mindset and belief level is the key to where we are now and where we are going.

When I was a young man all I could think about was getting my pilot's license. When I graduated from High School that was one of my goals along with going to college.

Well God had other plans for me and I ended up getting drafted into the Army and getting delayed on my goals. They didn't disappear because I believed I could get me license and fly.

I could see myself flying and traveling the world flying the plane. Well, it took another couple years but while being stationed in Key West, Florida I was able to get my Private License and then a few years later while stationed in Hawaii I got my Instrument, Multi-engine, and a commercial license.

It was the “Believe You Can” mindset that kept me moving to achieving that goal. I wasn't going to let anything stop me from becoming a Pilot and fly the beautiful skies.

If we let our circumstances, people's opinions, and other outside influences create our future for us, then it will be theirs, not yours!

You need to keep your thought process in check and keep the naysayers and the negative out of your MIND! Dr. Helmstetter wrote a great book “What To Say When You Talk To Yourself” that is a great read. It talks about affirmations, changing your thought process and changing your life.

I can tell you that I as guilty as the next guy or gal when it comes to slacking off on guarding my mind against all the crap that is out there. When I do let it in it becomes painfully obvious the effect it has on my day, NOT GOOD!

So tip #1 from Ray's great article Belive You Can is where it all starts. Change your thought process and you WILL change your day, your week, and your life.

I hope this has helped and stay tuned for tomorrow's tip #2 “Check Your Gauges, but NEVER to Allow Doubt.”
